GATE INSTALLATION IN WICKFORD
A Gate That Fits and Works Properly
Garden gate installation is the process of fitting a new gate within a residential fence line or as a defined garden-access point. A properly installed gate has secure posts, suitable hinges, a working latch and enough clearance to open and close without dragging.
We install garden gates for side access, rear garden access and integration with new or existing fencing. The gate is built or selected to suit the opening width, and the posts are set in concrete so the gate does not sag over time.
On a free site visit we measure the opening, assess the ground and talk through the options — timber or composite, gate width, hinge and latch choices. We then provide a clear written quotation.
WHAT GATE INSTALLATION INVOLVES
What Does Garden Gate Installation Include?
Garden gate installation includes setting gate posts in concrete at the correct depth, fitting hinges to the post and gate, installing a latch or lock, and ensuring the gate opens and closes cleanly with the right ground clearance. The gate must be aligned so it does not drag or swing open on its own.
The installation also includes measuring the opening width, selecting or building a gate to fit, and integrating the gate with the surrounding fencing. Where the gate is part of a new fence line, the gate posts are installed at the same time as the fence posts.
Gate width, ground clearance and hinge type all matter. A gate that is too wide for the opening will not fit. A gate with insufficient ground clearance will drag. Our installation takes these factors into account so the gate works properly from day one.
